I don't know, between the 1060 O6G and the RX480 O8G is a 50 euro price delta.

That could be invested elsewhere.

Ok then... Get the 480 and a larger SSD or something, $50 more is not worth it 

[AndriesM]

Changed the list a little:

Intel Core i7 7700K

ASUS ROG STRIX RX480 O8G

ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E

Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15

Custom loop (EKWB)

NZXT AER P

be quiet! Pure Base 600

Corsair RM750x

Western Digital Blue SSD

Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX

 

Lets throw in that custom loop! I have an experienced friend that will have to install that for me i think.

 

 

[AndriesM]

That rad doesnt fit, but ok

[AndriesM]

Anybody knows a case with 2 5.25" drive bays, 3.5"bay and 2.5"

And that can fit the loop?

 

[AndriesM]

OR should I forget about custom loops?

[AndriesM]

Ohh, I just saw some Ryzen 7 1700 w/ GTX 1060 benchmarks vs 7700K w/ GTX1060

The Ryzen did better actually.

Should i go for it then?

[AndriesM]

Forget about that loop. I think an X62 will do fine on a 7 1700  Or should i go for the 1700X?

AMD RYZEN 7 1700

ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1060 O6G

ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO

G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3000C16D-16GTZR

NZXT KRAKEN X62

be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900

Corsair RM750x

Western Digital Blue SSD

Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX

 

Is that cooler fine?

OR should i go for a be quiet! Dark Rock 3?

Look at my prev post

The 7700K is much better than any other CPU for GTA V

Please explain this?

In the bottom left corner next to the reply button etc, there will be a pencil icon which you can use to edit your post rather than creating a new one

It is fake.

[AndriesM]

Ok.

So

7700K?

Cooler:

Dark Rock 3 or X62?

[AndriesM]

A 7600K would do fine to won't it?

[AndriesM]

Comparison:

So go for 7700K or 6800K. I think the 6800K is not as bad as i thought

If gaming - 7700K

if doing work(multi tasking/rendering/video encoding etc etc) - r7 1700

 

And I don't advise to spend so much on custom water loops and expensive aios especially when you have to step down to a rx 480.

No, the 7700K is much better.

It depends, the 7700K will give you better framerates while the 6800K will give you similar framerates and better frametimes. (Although, the 5820K is better than the 6800K when both are overclocked)

Forget custom loops unless you have a 1080 or a 1070

So what is better then?

Better frametimes or framerates

If you want the highest FPS you can get, get the 7700K. If you want a smoother gaming experience (with similar framerates) get the 5820K (and overclock it)

[Crossbred]

I have an x99 system.

Its pretty great.

It just has so many features that are useless to me, and I'm gonna sell it to build a ryzen or many lake  pc to get those frames up.

I recommend ryzen for you.

Just stick with the 7700k, it is a beast processor with the best overall gaming performance right now, broadwell-e should not be bought for gaming, it is too expensive for no benefit most of the time, those are processors for specific multi-threaded loads.

 

Even if you want to stream from what I have been reading Quicksync using the 7700k iGPU not only enough is probably better than trying to justify buying a R7 1700.

 

I have a locked 7700 and it doesn't bottleneck my Titan which is the top of the line GPU on the market so you can make a 1080ti build using the 7700k with a clean conscious towards gaming performance.

 

The i7 5820k would be a good chip but it is significantly older than the Kaby Lake line up, I would rather going with what's newest.

What?  Your 5820K is 10-15% faster at 1080p and 5-10% faster at 1440p... (Compared to Ryzen)

The 5820K is only around 5-10% slower than the 7700K (in games), despite being older... And in mutithreaded games, it is 5-10% faster.....

Which doesn't change what I said, the chips are comparable being equally bit better on what they were made for, single and multi threading, but Kaby Lake is newest architecture which I feel is a plus, OP is over worrying about the CPU, we both know that the 7700k would suffice for all of his GTA V gaming.

 

If he wants enthusiastic chip, I actually solid agree the 5820k would be the best Intel offering for him right now, at least until the next chipset comes.
